Chapter 156 Yuan Shu Wants to Escape
The soldier listened to his lord's entrustment, and ran towards the city wall non-stop.
Yuan Shu called another soldier and asked him to inform his wife and son, and quickly packed up his things and prepared to run away. After the soldier went down, Yuan Shu arranged for his own personal guard army, ready to go out of the city with him to flee for his life.
The soldier ran to Ji Ling who was fighting, and said:
"Report to the general, the lord ordered you to hold the enemy army. You don't have to fight the enemy to the death. The lord is still waiting for you to help him make a comeback. The lord led the civil servants to escape from the north gate first. The lord asked you to lead the rest of the soldiers. Go after them."
After hearing what the soldiers said, Ji Ling nodded and said:
"First kill the enemy army on the city wall, and let Deputy General Zhang lead [-] soldiers to the city gate for reinforcements!"
After Ji Ling finished speaking, he turned around and killed a Yuan Shaojun soldier with an axe.
Gao Chong in the woods saw that the siege battle between the two sides was about to come to an end, and said to the soldiers beside him:
"Brothers cheer up, the winner is about to be decided at the city gate, as long as the city gate is broken, I will fight in!"
Forty thousand elite cavalry, ready to go, just waiting for Gao Chong's order.
Yuan Shu and the ministers in the city had already assembled at the north gate of Runan City. With the addition of [-] soldiers, there were tens of thousands of people. Yuan Shu came to the gate and said to the soldiers guarding the city:
"Open the city gate! You don't have to guard the city gate here anymore, all go to the east city gate to help General Ji Ling resist the enemy's attack!"
A few soldiers opened the north city gate. This gate is closer to the grassland. Yuan Shu planned to go to the grassland first. If Ji Ling was lucky enough to bring tens of thousands of soldiers to chase after him, then relying on Ji Ling's force and soldiers, he would definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the grassland. Heel, when the time comes to unite with the alien race in the grassland, if you kill again, you will come back.
Of course, these thoughts must not be told to these civil servants, otherwise there will be a wave of opposition. If you rely on yourself to fall away and leave yourself, it will not be as easy as before to find civil servants and counselors.
The leading guards of the city received Yuan Shu's order and went to the east gate with [-] troops to help Ji Ling resist Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's army.
At this time, the Liaodong soldiers who were ambushing at the north gate saw the gate of the north gate was wide open, and from a distance, they could see the indistinct crowds of people in the city.
The leading general ordered a cavalryman to inform Gao Chong that Yuan Shu was about to escape from the north gate, and asked the general to lead his troops quickly.
After receiving the order, the cavalry immediately drove towards the east gate where Gao Chong was, and soon saw Gao Chong in the woods, and said to Gao Chong:
"Report to General Gao! The North Gate discovered that Yuan Shu wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape. All the guards at the North Gate were transferred by Yuan Shu. Only Yuan Shu led less than 1 people and was preparing to leave the city!"
As soon as Gao Chong heard what his soldiers said, he didn't wait here for the east gate to be broken. He led [-] cavalry to the north gate of Runan without stopping. On the way, Gao Chong ordered two soldiers to go to inform the south gate and west gate. The [-] cavalry in ambush must gather at the north gate!
Yuan Shu guarded the city and all the soldiers left, so he said to the crowd:
"Everyone follow me out. General Ji Ling resists the enemy for a while, and then he will catch up. Let's go out of the city first."
In this way, Yuan Shu led more than ten thousand people out of the north gate of Runan City. After driving for five miles, he heard a sound of horseshoes and quickly approached his group!
Yuan Shu felt bad, and was about to say that he was going back to the city, when he turned around, he saw about [-] cavalrymen blocking the north gate of Runan City tightly, and it was impossible to rush in. Just looking at the momentum of the [-] cavalry, it is even stronger than the momentum of the [-] army!
At this time, [-] cavalry came from the south and [-] cavalry from the west, and directly in front of him was a general with a big gun leading [-] cavalry to block his way.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu realized that there were more than [-] cavalry, and there was only one person who could have such a powerful cavalry, and that was Liu Xuan, the prefect of Liaodong. Gao Chong asked:
"Who is coming? Your master is Liu Xuan, the governor of Liaodong, Liu Ziwu?"
After listening to Yuan Shu's words, Gao Chong replied:
"I'm Gao Chong, deputy commander of the Third Army under the Liaodong prefect! Are you Yuan Shu from Runan, Yuan Gonglu?"
Yuan Shu saw that this person was not polite at all, and he had never heard that there was such a number one person among the generals under Liu Xuan's command. As for the official position, it should be just me as a lieutenant general!Then Liu Xuan looked down on him too much, and even asked a deputy general to lead troops to take down my Runan!
Yuan Shu also thought of Liu Xuan's lack of time to take care of my Runan City discussed a few days ago. He didn't expect that as he guessed, the [-] cavalry were from Liaodong Liu Xuan, and continued:
"I am Yuan Shu. It seems that Liu Xuan still has no intention of letting me go. Let you wait here. If you can guess that I will abandon the city and flee, Liu Xuan has great talents!"
Gao Chong didn't want to talk nonsense with Yuan Shu. His lord said that Yuan Shu was not only incompetent, but also cowardly and despicable. Gao Chong's generals looked down on this kind of person the most, so he said to Yuan Shu:
"Yuan Shu, my lord ordered me to come here to give you a gift in return. A month ago, you, Yuan Shao from Jizhou and Ma Teng from Xiliang dared to send troops to attack and kill my lord, causing my lord to sacrifice a cavalry guard. Today you Must die!"
After Gao Chong finished speaking, he was ready to order Yuan Shu and others to be beheaded.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu quickly thought of an idea. He was going to dedicate the Chuanguo Yuxi to Liu Xuan, hoping that Liu Xuan would spare his life, so Yuan Shu quickly waved his hands and said:
"General Gao, please slow down, I have something to offer to your lord, as long as he is willing to spare my life!"
The people who followed Yuan Shu, when they heard what their lord said, suddenly felt that they were following the wrong lord. Even if Yuan Shu did not become emperor, he was still a descendant of the Yuan family of four generations and three princes. beg for mercy!
Gao Chong doesn't care if he is a descendant of the fourth generation and the third lord, if he offends his lord, the only way to die is, unless the lord doesn't care!
Gao Chong looked disdainful, and said disapprovingly:
"Yuan Shu, why are you doing this? Since you dare to intercept and kill my lord, you are already prepared to die. Whether it is you, Ma Teng, or Yuan Shao, there is only one way to die. What you are talking about is the legend of that big man." Guo Yuxi?"
When Yuan Shu heard what Gao Chong said, cold sweat broke out on his body. He already regretted that he decided to intercept and kill Liu Xuan together with Yuan Shao and Ma Teng, and when he heard Gao Chong's disdain for Chuanguo Yuxi in his words, he instantly felt that My neck is already cold, what should I do?
